A container constructed and arranged to be connected to other containers is provided. In an embodiment, the container may comprise a container portion with an opening into an interior space in which articles to be transported can be stored; a lid for closing the opening; a handle for carrying the container; a front latch for securing the lid to the container portion; and a pivotable side latch, pivotally connected to the lid, that is moveable between a retaining position and a storage position. The pivotable side latch may be configured to engage a retaining structure of another container when the pivotable side latch is in the retaining position. The lid may comprise a depression, and the pivotable side latch may be further configured to be in the depression when the pivotable side latch is in the storage position. The container portion may comprise a retaining structure with an upward-facing lip that is configured to engage a pivotable side latch of a further container to facilitate securement of the container with the further container.
